Laughter and merrimcat win reign

| Laughter ana merrlmeIt Will reign
supreme at the opera house about the
middle of the present month, the
occasion being the second presenta-
ton in Owosso Of the world famous
humorous play universally conceded
to be the funniest of modern farcical
comedies, skipped by the Light of
the Moon" This production has
been the laughing sensation of the
past three years in all the principal
cities of America, from New York to
San Francisco, creating everywhere a
vertiable Juror. Since the play was
last seen here it has been revised and
reconstructed, and many new features,
new specialties and all new music in
troduced, and in its present form it is
everywhere spoken of as being the
supreme OF farcical invention and
constituting in its entirety the iuniest
conception that has yet assumed stage
shape. tits safe to say that all who
fail to see this performance will miss
one of the greatest treats Of the sea-
son. The New York Telegraph says;
''That the piece is funny must not be
even limited; for the word funny does
not fill the bill or describe the play.
1t is phantasmagoria of mirth, a
regular emporium OF laughing gas.
Moreover, 1t is performed with slap,
dash and rush that are captivating
and infectious. One has scarcely
time to breathe between laughs and
naught is left in the minds of the
spectators an hour after the prefor-
nance except the reccurent echo of
uncomfortable laughter"
In promulgating esoteric cogita-

mentalites, either philosophical or
Psychological, because of platltudi-

possess clarified conciseness, COM
pacted compfehensibleness, coalescent
consistency and concentrated cogency
in trying to impress upon others the
superiority of the Standard Rotary
Shuttle sewing machine and why they
are such favorite with the ladies, it
is not necessary to use Jaw breakers.
Let your extemporaneous descantings
and unprecedented expatiations have
| intelligibility and vivacious vivacity
without rhodomontade or thrasonical
bombast. Shun double entendres
jejune babblement or asinine aztec
tons. Sedulously all psittaceous va
Guilty, ventriloqual vebosity and van
eloquent vapidity. Drop prurient
jocosity or pestiferous profanity either
obscurent or apparent. In other words
speak sensibly, and plainly say that
to try the Standard is to buy it. For
